Health Hazards Information - Recommended Personal Protective Equipment Eye protection Symptoms Following Eiqzosure Dust irritates eyes in same way as any foreign material. Penetration of skin by fragments of metal is likely to produce local irritation, blisters, and ulcers which may become infected General Treatment for Exposure EYES flush with water to remove dust. SKIN treat as any puncture Toxicity by Inhalation (Threshold Limit Value) Data not available Short-Term Inhalation Limits Not pertinent Toxicity by Ingestion Oral LDLo (lowest lethal dose) = 230 mg/kg (dog) Late Toxicity Data not available Vtqtor (Gas) Irritant Characteristics Not pertinent Liquid or Solid Irritant Characteristics Data not available Odor Threshold Not pertinent. 

The new hand protection standard resulted from OSHA s belief that many hand injuries result from not wearing hand protection or wearing protection for the wrong type of hazards. Employers should evaluate and provide hand protection when there are hazards to hands from absorption of harmful substances, severe cuts or lacerations, severe abrasions, punctures, chemical burns, thermal burns, and harmful temperature extremes. 

The second one was hurled in the direction of the thirty-fourth car and punctured its head, resulting in further propane releases. The other end of the car also struck the thirty-fourth car, ricocheted, and then struck the protective housing of the thirty-fifth car. The housing and valves of the thirty-fifth car broke off, permitting more LPG to be released. Fires continued for a total of 56 hours. 

Feet - puncture proof shoes, chemical resistance and insulated rubbers/boots with metal toe protection... 

Based on this analysis it is evident that materials which are biaxially oriented will have good puncture resistance. Highly polar polymers would be resistant to puncture failure because of their tendency to increase in strength when stretched. The addition of randomly dispersed fibrous filler will also add resistance to puncture loads. From some examples such as oriented polyethylene glycol terephthalate (Mylar), vulcanized fiber, and oriented nylon, it is evident that these materials meet one or more of the conditions reviewed. Products and plastics that meet with puncture loading conditions in applications can be reinforced against this type of stress by use of a surface layer of plastic with good puncture resistance. Resistance of the surface layer to puncture will protect the product from puncture loads. An example of this type of application is the addition of an oriented PS layer to foam cups to improve their performance. 

Lenses for safety glasses are made from highly impact resistant plastics such as modified acrylics and polycarbonate. They will resist puncture from flying objects and offer the exceptional eye protection. They can be molded to prescription requirements. 

There is also a significant hazard posed by injection of toxins through contact with contaminated debris. Appropriate protection to avoid any potential laceration or puncture of the skin is essential. 

In all cases, there is a significant hazard posed by contact of contaminated material with skin that has been cut or lacerated, or through injection of pathogens by contact with debris. Appropriate protection to avoid any potential abrasion, laceration, or puncture of the skin is essential. Individuals with damaged or open skin should not be allowed to enter the contaminated area. 

Other relatively inexpensive personal protective items that are not absolutely essential but should be considered are protective garments and gloves. One-piece coveralls with head covers and booties made from lightweight plastic such as Tyvek are relatively inexpensive, semi-repellent, and disposable. Nitrile gloves are preferred over latex gloves because they have much greater tear and puncture resistance. 

Remove all sharp stones, roots, and anything else that might puncture the lining. Firm the sides and edges and make sure that the edges are all level. For additional protection, gently smooth a 4-in (10-cm) layer of sand all around the inside of the hole. Fay a protective underlay, such as old carpet, cardboard, or custom-made pond underlay. 

U.S. market is about 20 million pounds per year. The applications are those where one needs very high flame resistance (clothing for firefighters and welders, welder s protective shield, upholstery and drapes), heat resistance (ironing board covers, insulation film for electrical motors and transformers, aerospace and military), dimensional stability (fire hose, V- and conveyor belts), or strength and modulus (circuit boards, bulletproof vests, fiber optic and power lines, ship mooring ropes, automobile tire cord, puncture-resistant bicycle tires). 

Materials synthesis is a necessary component in the development of advanced technologies for national security and homeland defense. For instance, new composites, nanoscale molecules and compounds, and polymers are needed for tougher, explosion- or puncture-resistant materials that can be employed in buildings, garments, bridges, and other products and structures. Personal protective materials could be enhanced with new chemical adsorbents filter materials, impermeable membranes, artificial sutures, and improved energetic materials for... 

Raw materials received in damaged containers must be isolated and rendered safe as soon as possible. Wearing full protective clothing, workers must lay drums with a puncture hole in the side (e.g., from a forklift prong) on their side with the hole on top. The hole can then be sealed and any spilled material neutralized. The pressure in a drum with a bulging end must be carefully released, taking all precautions. The material should be returned to the supplier for correct disposal. 

Prepare a small length of plastic straw the same size as the vial. Slide the vial into the length of straw. This protects the balloon from punctures when the vial is crushed. 

For restless animals, the catheter can be prevented from being removed by the dog by fitting with a protective collar of the type commonly used in veterinary practice. Dusting the puncture site and fixation suture with antibiotic powder prevents inflammation.
